This is the largest piece thus far in the "Cadets" series, a new series I've been working on this summer. In some ways, this series is the darkest of my work--it deals directly with some Big Questions as I process some tough stuff--and it's inspired in part by Maurice Sendak, who so expertly and richly explored dark subject matter and made it accessible. In making these pieces, I wanted to blend life and death and Earth and Space, and find ways to explore the mysteries between. One of my favorite college professors used to sum up his beliefs thusly: "Nod to the mystery, but don't pretend the mystery nods back." Consider this series an ongoing nod, painstakingly hand-drawn in colored pencil and pen.
